★Singular propositions are treated as universal, so that is the answer.
★A singular proposition is about one definite individual, such as 'Socrates is wise'.
★Since it says something of the whole of its subject, it is taken as universal.
★The entire subject, that one individual, is covered by the predicate.
★So in traditional logic singular propositions count as universal.
★So the answer is universal.
